Secret La Salle Monument & Historical Marker

Mysterious
Heavener, Oklahoma Runestone is a 1687 Normandy French
Monument. It tells the nearby Death Locations of Famous French Explorer
Robert Cavelier de La Salle and six others. This book tells the initial
discovery.

Woodard discovered that
this large Runestone oddity is not of Scandinavian Origin, as incorrectly
advertised for so long at an Oklahoma State Park. It is instead a 1687 Normandy French Memorial
Monument.

It uses Normandy French Runes
(La Salle was from Rouen Normandie) for concealing French messages from
Spanish Soldiers. La Salle's tragedy-plagued Matagorda Bay Area French
colonization attempt was into territories claimed by Spain since the early
1500's. La Salle and his men were encroaching upon Spanish American Terrain
(even when penetrating to the Poteau and Arkansas River Valleys).

Petit Jean's Mountain The Origin of the Legend

Fascinating
true life story of the 1687 Historic La Salle Expedition Drowning
Tragedy which claimed life of a young French Noble. That death resulted
in the Old Arkansas oral Legends about Petit Jean's Mountain and
River. This is an important sequel to
the book "Secret La Salle Monument And Historical Marker."

Oklahoma La
Salle discoveries convinced Dr. Lee Woodard that on St.
Jeans Day, June 24, 1687, the seven fleeing French survivors of the La
Salle expedition were at what is now known as Petit Jean Mountain of
Arkansas.

On that date, says Woodard, young French
Noble, de Marne, drowned in the nearby Arkansas river, and was buried
near the top of Petit Jean Mountain.
